The 5 Biggest Mistakes New Project Managers Make

In many cases, new project managers sit down to consider the specifics of a project and don’t allow for mushrooming, which big projects tend to do. It can be scary, of course, but in the end, breaking the project up into manageable chunks and sticking to your goals ensures project success. As a new project manager, you may quickly forget that other people are affected by how you handle the project. In many cases, projects are created to meet particular stakeholder expectations, so it’s an integral part of your planning and management.

Key Takeaways:

  • he project scope dictates the goals and deliverables you must achieve by the end of the project.
  • In many cases, new project managers sit down to consider the specifics of a project and don’t allow for mushrooming, which big projects tend to do. Pretty soon the project spirals hopelessly out of their control.
  • Don’t be afraid to say no to the demands of your boss or client – especially to those that fall outside the scope of the project.
